This cute Rudolph the Reindeer Baby Hat pattern will result in a hat that has a circumference of about 17 1/2” and a hat height from brim to crown of about 7”. This should fit a 6-12 month old baby, but not all baby heads are the same size, so check the size before making it. There is some stretch to this hat, so it will stretch a little bit, if necessary. You can easily adjust the size by changing the size of your crochet hook. If you need to change the height of the hat, just increase or decrease the number of rounds following row 6.

Any bulky-weight yarn can be used for this pattern. The materials listed below are what I used for this pattern, but any bulky-weight yarn will work.
